I smell a 2017 release. Colin and Greg (and many others) were quick to dismiss it as a 2018 game just because the reveal trailer didn't have a date attached, without taking into account that Sony are just being more careful about dates from now on.

@igivehugs you just know it would get delayed to feb 2018 lol sony loves delaying to feb. not hating just find it funny that so many big exclusives get delayed to feb from october of the previous year.

I started to go off their brand of critique as soon as Colin started misinforming people about the PS4 Pro and not stepping up and admitting his mistake when called out with facts. His stupid pronouncements continue when he recently said "I don't see how TLG wouldn't work on the PS3". He's been a professional journalist for so long and now people are paying his independent ass thousands of dollars a month to neglect the facts. That is what annoys me more, is that I know Colin is a discerning, really clever guy, but he just doesn't care about the facts in the job that he's in. And what is their particular reasoning in their continued cheap shots at Gravity Rush 2? I'm just not a fan anymore. Greg is just basically just a yes man to Colin at this point.

Easy Allies deserve my attention more because they are REAL and don't misinform their audience, disappear up their asses or make things up to stroke their own inflated egos.

Just remember, it will go through at least one level of consumer private testing and based on feedback could be pushed back a lot. An internal completion is likely the pre alpha run without any consumer playtesting. I'm fairly certain one of the most used phrases was 'we are still working on that.'

Yeah Cory confirmed there was still some stuff to shoot as well. I think they are at a stage where the core game is probably locked but requires a lot of polish and tuning. They are most likely still using a lot of placeholder assets etc.

Doubt its a pre-alpha. Betas, real betas (not the one's companies call a beta but are in reality an advertisement) are the point where everything is in the game and functioning to some degree. Those allow a degree of play. I have never seen a pre-alpha, a real one, in which you could conduct a full playthrough.

Although God of War games typically have been released late in Q1 (March) I am betting on Sony releasing this next fall in a nice PS4 Pro bundle to counter Scorpio. Q1 2017 Sony has Zero Dawn, they may have Spiderman in Q2 or Q3 and God of War would be the ultimate stop gap against Scorpio in Q4. Sometime in 2018 they will have The Last of Us Part II. The wild card is Final Fantasy VII Remake which would also be a good counter to Scorpio.

The mainline Uncharted games on PS3 were all Fall window releases, yet the 4th on PS4 came out in Spring, I don't think SCEI and their devs are working a particular schedule for their established franchises, but GoW does carry it's own weight like Uncharted.

Back when PS4 GoW was revealed and Cory got questioned about when it would release he basically said it's not far off, made it seem like 2017 was happening, same thing for Detroit, David Cage didn't give specific dates, but eluded to next year.

I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel wanted Spidey out near to Homecoming's cinematic release (that's July 2017) and Bend would likely want to avoid going up against The Last of Us Part II, which is probably either Fall 2018 or Q1/2 in 2019.

Very good news. This game is much further along then I thought. They were almost done with the mocap and now the game is fully playable, hell yes! I still think early 2018 and we'll get a full blowout of this game at e3.

Very happy to hear this as the game currently is playable from start to finish. It doesn't mean however that everything is already in it. Maybe they still need to put cut-scenes in, or they could make some tweaks and possibly add new areas. We never know. Regardless I'm glad to see it is coming along well. Lets hope it releases in Q4 2017.

I have no complaints. Sony's upcoming roster for 2017/2018 looks stupendous. My backlog is already killing me...so many quality titles still to play, and Horizon Zero Dawn and Nier:Automata are right around the corner. Oh my....
